hmmmm...

 

This chapter is tough to summarize without

using the examples, and I'm much too lazy

to type the whole thing in.

 

Pat looks at using dialogue in a lyric. He

specifically examines using different points

of view to see which works for the example

he's chosen. As Pat examines the lyric/dialogue

re-written in different points of view he

shows the problems associated with each.

 

For the chosen example ("Give Me Wings"

by Don Schlitz and Rhonda Kye Fleming)

we end up in 3rd person narrative. Pat

is careful to tell us that this is not

the solution for every lyric containing

dialogue.

 

Pat also foreshadows some of the work to be

covered in upcoming chapters by looking at

rhyme scheme & meter for the lyric that

was examined.

 

See you next time...
